tax reduction: $20.34
amount you're paid minus tax: $657.66
-1/2
To find the slope of the line between two points, we use the equation (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Substitute the values given for the xs and ys:
(7-5)/(-1-3)
2/(-4)
simplify: -1/2
Answer:
a) 0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room or both.
b) 0.46 = 46% probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons
Step-by-step explanation:
We use Venn's Equations for probabilities.
I am going to say that:
P(A) is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food.
P(B) is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room.
0.12 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for both of these reasons.
This means that 
0.27 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about leaving lights on when not in a room.
This means that 
0.39 probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty about wasting food
This means that 
a. What is the probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room or both (to 2 decimals)?

0.54 = 54% probability that a randomly selected person will feel guilty for either wasting food or leaving lights on when not in a room or both.
b. What is the probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons (to 2 decimals)?

0.46 = 46% probability that a randomly selected person will not feel guilty for either of these reasons
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is in slope-intercept form, so the slope is the coefficient of x. Since the coefficient of x is negative, so is the slope.
